Just go in humble and with both ears open and you'll be fine. Remember the first day is all about observing the relationaships and dynamics within the new company. No one expects you to impress them on day one, just don't offend.

Has it been 4 weeks since Ed gave "notice"? Or did his old job decide he can go sooner?

We haven't heard from him yet, so maybe he gets through the first day. :)

Or, is there something we are not privy to? Dum da dum dum! Hope he got to eat his cheese sandwich.

Other than the snapped fitting, sounds like you had a great day! Proud for you man, there is nothing like being where you feel like you should be. Life is too short to be unhappy and screwed over by someone who doesn't even appreciate it.

Good job. Are you going to get hem set up with the proper inventory for you? I am hopefully going to be doing a little more commercial stuff later this year. Or should I say, my guys will be.

Kick back and have a :drinkup: now.

No doubt...

that snapped fitting is going to haunt my sleep..Its going to wake me up in the middle of night granted my ty pm's dont work right....

Hey, think of it this way, if it snapped that easy it was probably destined to fail when you turned the water back on anyway, just saved you from coming back the following day to warranty a repair done on the FIRST DAY of a new job.

Thanks Dana, I hate revamping commercial jobs that were neglected.....
Everyone understands that its a POS system....but It being my first day sucked to make such a mistake....irrigation=irritation....

the wiring there is a total mexci hack>slap

the installers didn't know which way the wire went so they double up their splices....Not sure if that makes sense but I saw it a lot on a job in NC...

No W*M valve parts on the truck?

Do they have a set of parts for all the sites they maintain?

CAPT Stream Rotar

No W*M valve parts on the truck?

Had plenty of those....

BUT we had no 2' fittings....Which sucked....And what sucks furthermore, the 2 wells are connected so we couldn't service anything else w/o water...

it was just past 5 so the local places were closed...

Never smooth sailing all the way. I always equate "replace valve" with "we didn't have the parts and/or knowledge to repair the existing valve", so I would think fittings unnecessary, but I'm sitting here typing and watching hockey, and not in the trenches today.
